<h1>tdb</h1>

TDB is a Trivial Database. In concept, it is very much like GDBM, and BSD's DB 
except that it allows multiple simultaneous writers and uses locking 
internally to keep writers from trampling on each other. TDB is also extremely 
small.

<h2>Discussion and bug reports</h2>

tdb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking
system. For now, please use the <a
href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba-technical">samba-technical</a>
mailing list, and the <a href="http://bugzilla.samba.org/">Samba
bugzilla</a> bug tracking system.

<h2>Download</h2>

You can download the latest release either via rsync or git.<br>
<br>
To fetch via git see the following guide:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_Git_for_Samba_Development">Using Git for Samba Development</a><br>
Once you have cloned the tree switch to the v4-0-test branch and cd into the source/lib/tdb directory.<br>
<br>
To fetch via rsync use these commands:

<pre>
  rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/tdb .
  rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/libreplace .
</pre>

and build in tdb. It will find the replace library in the directory
above automatically.
